I don’t disagree but I like pigs

I really can’t comprehend
women;
anyone not wealthy;
ppl of any ethnicity but white;
victims of abuse;
recent immigrants and their families;
ppl who care about Gaza;
disabled folks;
LGBTQ+
voting for him.
He doesn’t even have a pet, animal lovers.

If you did, please think about why &
reconsider

Oh my.

James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists.

Get this man in the Senate.

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

When the high is 80 and it feels super pleasant and mild, you know you’re coming off a summer in south Texas.

I know it’s a political hellhole, but it’s often a beautiful place.

It’s also as hot af for most of the year.

The hope the elections gave you is real. The hope No Kings gave you is still real. Stoke that hope.

That slogan now includes Angus King. Say no to him and his fellow craven quitters.

(For love of democracy don’t share King’s remarks as some will take them as excuse for apathy.)

No Kings, Angus

Kim Davis loses again. Maybe move the fuck on already. Start paying those judgments you owe

sadly this piece does not delve into important episode two controversies, including: why did they cast someone who seems lovely but didn't really know how to knit and, no offense holger I truly love you but does a commedia dell'arte dog sweater really fit the brief for an "icon"?

Why didn’t I know Florida was this insane

Really hard call on what’s worst here: Chief Health dude (what shade of base is that?) sliding out; trump, when suddenly people aren’t paying attention to him, going scary-empty; or passing out in public and waking to Miller’s face.

I have no words

The member of the Scottish parliament for Shetland has lodged a complaint in Holyrood over the depiction of fair isle knitting in the UK’s new competitive knitting show, which debuted this week with a controversial tank top challenge and steek-related dismissal.

Why would we want 1939?

While we’re at it: I want America great. Full stop. MAGA just wants, again, racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia w/o push back from the majority of us.

Who live in 2025 and want to move forward to an America we’ve never seen before. One that embraces us all.

It's also an area that is going to be seriously hurt by Trump's refusal to release food stamps & other assistance. Many poor people in need.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

The Cortylorhynchus considers my problems, nods sagely, and says, "have you tried basking in the sun about it? While being as spherical as possible?"

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

THIS MOTHERFUCKER HELD A GREAT GATSBY PARTY WHILE 43 MILLION PEOPLE GO HUNGRY AND HEALTHCARE COSTS KEEP RISING.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

I am not wheelchair bound; I am power chair freed.
You use legs to navigate the world. I use wheels.

I am not special needs; I have all the same needs you do.
I need access, food/water/shelter, dignity, respect.

I am not specially abled, except in so far as all ppl have their own abilities.

Friends — these are terrible times, to be sure. But I believe we will triumph. Here’s why.

MFA Boston returns works by 19th-century enslaved artist David Drake to his heirs The terms of the restitution of the two ceramic pots have been cast in the mould of Nazi war-loot agreements

A rare happy story: The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has restored its holdings of the works of the enslaved potter David Drake to his descendants, following the pattern of Holocaust art restitution, the first time a museum has restored a work produced by an enslaved person.

I actually drank both for a while, so it was a slow adjustment. Maybe moldy, or maybe more like switching dog foods.

I say give it a shot. I find it pretty good. I gave up real soda about ten years ago and it was so hard. I only drink “zeros” now, except on my birthday, when I get a Mountain Dew. :)

i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

That’s no ballroom

I *love* NYC. Truly. I don't think I could live there for real, I need a horizon and big sky, but I really wish I could vote for Mamdani. I'm sad he can't run for president because I would run to do it.

It's officially fall, y'all. Finally had my annual "I Screwed Up Bad and/or Horrendous First Day" teaching dream. Slept through the whole day and didn't call in, which I never did. So why do I nonetheless feel guilty?
